Peugeot was in a tough spot when it launched the 206 in 1999, from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy for the 206 was that it would not directly replace the 205; rather, it was designed to be a bridge between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the more expensive top 205s.
The 206 range comprises three models including one hatchback (206 CC) 2 door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi, which did 0-100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and had the top speed of 210 km/h.
